Luckily you can make a shiv out of almost anything, so they should be able to keep busy.

I'd also caution that, while these teens may well be as guilty as sin, I've also seen a number of similar news stories revealed years later as as heartbreaking tales of manipulative police interrogations and coerced false confessions. Whatever ultimately happens to these teens I hope that it follows due process.

Revenge is best saved for practical jokes, not the justice system in a civilised country.

You beat me to it. Bored teenagers with guns. Should never have been possible in the first place.

Disgusting situation. I hope the right people are being held and that the legal system follows the proper course.

No mention of the kids' race.Interesting. I guess we wouldn't want bad publicity on that front.

Exactly. it's far to easy to find examples of people who were wrongly convicted, then executed. We'd need to replace "reasonable doubt" with "absolute, unassailable certainty" which I'm not sure we can do.
